“I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter,” written by queer Mexican-American author Erika. L Sánchez, explores the struggles of living up to your familia’s expectations whilst finding your own identity. After rebellious Chicana teen Julia loses her sister Olga in a tragic accident, she is left to pick up the pieces of her immigrant family. While managing her own grief and feeling pressured to fill the role her late sister left behind, Julia discovers that Olga wasn’t as perfect as she thought, and in delving into her sister’s story, she finds who she is along the way.
